I have been looking for mills and lathes in my area for awhile for a garage workshop and these are the first hobby type machines i have seen that didnt look like junk
Also sent email asking info about model and hours and tooling. I was looking at getting a pmc25 and converting it to cnc over the coruse of the year making some of the brackets while i learn but if opportunity present will get lathe first.

Welp its not letting me put the craiglist link into the message.

they are in fort smith, arkansas on craigslist

thanks for looking
 
They both appear to be in really nice condition, one is an under drive 10", the other has the countershaft and is 9". Both have a decent amount of tooling it appears. I'd say yeah they could be worth the price, assuming that there is no major wear on them. 1500 sounds very reasonable, but you really need to check the beds for signs of significant wear.
